A Kentucky woman Friday filed an emergency class-action lawsuit, asking a Jefferson County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in Kentucky since the state banned nearly all abortions in 2022 and one of the only times nationwide since before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that an adult woman has asked a court to intervene on her behalf and allow her to get an abortion.

      Yes. In an ideal world we would be able to add abortion protections to the constitution.

      Unfortunately, in the world we live in, I feel it’s up to the states to prove their way is better. Just like with marijuana.
